+Template: samba/generate_smbpasswd
+Type: boolean
+Default: false
+_Description: Create samba password database, /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb?
+ To be compatible with the defaults in most versions of Windows, Samba must
+ be configured to use encrypted passwords.  This requires user passwords to
+ be stored in a file separate from /etc/passwd.  This file can be created
+ automatically, but the passwords must be added manually by running
+ smbpasswd and be kept up-to-date in the future.
+ .
+ If you do not create it, you will have to reconfigure Samba (and probably
+ your client machines) to use plaintext passwords.
+ .
+ See /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ENCRYPTION.html from the
+ samba-doc package for more details.

+Template: samba/run_mode
+Type: select
+__Choices: daemons, inetd
+Default: daemons
+_Description: How do you want to run Samba?
+ The Samba daemon smbd can run as a normal daemon or from inetd. Running as
+ a daemon is the recommended approach.

+Template: samba/tdbsam
+Type: boolean
+Default: false
+_Description: Move /etc/samba/smbpasswd to /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb?
+ Samba 3.0 introduced a more complete SAM database interface which
+ supersedes the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file.
+ .
+ Please confirm whether you would like the existing smbpasswd file to
+ be automatically migrated to /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb.  Do not
+ choose this option if you plan to use another pdb backend (e.g.,
+ LDAP) instead.
